“Down the line, since [Truman] voted in the Senate in 1935 for U.S. participation in the World Court, his positions on foreign relations and international policy have been consistently on the side of FDR and for the fight against fascism.”
“He cast a vote for the Smith-Connally Bill when it first came up, but he supported FDR when the Senate overrode the White House veto of that notorious piece of anti-labor legislation. He did not, however, support the White House veto of the tax bill which gave ‘relief not for the needy but for the greedy’. Otherwise he was virtually always on the right side (or the left side, according to the editorial commentators) of Senate roll calls on Democratic measures.”
